For over 30 years, Community Links has been tackling poverty and social exclusion in the most deprived neighbourhoods in east London. Through a network of community projects Community Links helps thousands of disadvantaged children, teenagers, adults and older people each year, empowering individuals and communities to build a brighter future, and sharing the local lessons across the country to widen the impact and generate lasting social change. Initially growing out of activities for excluded young people delivered by the Youth Team, in 2009 Community Links established Education Links as a stand-alone department and registered this department as an independent school. Education Links is overseen by a sub-committee of the Community Links Board of Trustees (the Education Links Advisory Group) which, with the addition of a number of independent appointments, acts as the Governors for the school. The students at Education Links benefit from being part of the charity in that their education is embedded in wider community support for them and their families. This application has been developed by staff and Trustees of Community Links Trust Ltd. In order for Education Links to convert to an Alternative Provision Free School, we have established a company limited by guarantee to be the ‘Academy Trust’. If our application is successful, the Academy Trust will benefit from the full support and expertise of the charity’s staff and Trustees in progressing towards opening as an Alternative Provision Free School in September 2014. Please see section F for more detail of how we propose the Academy Trust will work, and the support it will receive from Community Links Trust Ltd once the school is open. 6 Details of company limited by guarantee 13. Company name: COMMUNITY LINKS ACADEMY TRUST 14. Company address: 105 Barking Road Canning Town London E16 4HQ 15. Company registration number and date it was incorporated: 8341194 – 24/12/2012 16. Does the company run any existing schools, including Yes any Free Schools? No 17. If Yes, please provide details: The newly formed Company does not run an existing school. However, Community Links Trust Limited runs Education Links, an independent special school (URN 136031). Community Links Academy Trust is owned by Community Links Trust Limited and the school will be transferred to the newly formed company during the process of becoming a Free School. Company members Members of the company are its legal owners. We require that there are a minimum of three members. Founding members are those that establish the company and sign the memorandum of association that is submitted (with the company's articles of association) when registering the company with Companies House. Further members may subsequently be appointed.

  • Mr Daniel Willis Comments
    Mr Daniel Willis comments Page: Draft New London Plan Section: N/A Community Links’ response to: Greater London Authority, The London Plan: The Spatial Development Strategy for Greater London (draft for public consultation, December 2017). a) Good Growth: good for BAME communities? The Mayor’s recognition that the growth of London’s population and economy has had positive and negative impacts on London’s communities, and has the potential to further exacerbate existing inequalities across the capital, is welcome. In the London Borough of Newham, where Community Links is based, we have seen a range of impacts (investment in our local area, regeneration of derelict buildings) and challenges (increased housing pressures, displaced families, isolated communities) as a result of growth in the past decade. We are particularly concerned about the impact on Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities in one of the UK’s most diverse local authorities and fear that this is not fully understood or addressed in the new draft London Plan. We are dismayed to see that the proposed Plan would continue to treat large parts of Newham as an “Arc of Opportunity" from the Royal Docks to the Olympic Park. Whilst rhetorically this suggests that some of London’s most deprived communities will see much-needed investment, in practice regeneration has ignored the voice of the local community, displaced low-income families and forced them out of the Borough. Moreover, housing developments built for more affluent, incoming residents have been built to enable connection with Canary Wharf and the City, with their backs to the communities closest to them.

This edition focuses on the physical regeneration of our area. We map the major redevelopments happening across east London, summarise our relevant recent research and set out our key recommendations on this topic. We also include some insights from those most affected by the changes – the young people who will grow up to live and work in the places currently being shaped by regeneration. We hope that this booklet will offer friends, partners, service users and those new to Community Links a good introduction to this part of our work.
